In this old neighborhood you can still breathe authenticity and tradition, the essence of this seafaring city. El Bajondillo has narrow streets that connect the lower part of the city with the promenade and one of the best beaches in the city. A walk through El Bajondillo is a great way to get to know the history of the town in depth, with surprising corners and paths that always end in the sea.
It is one of the busiest beaches in Torremolinos, located between Carihuela and Playamar, which can be accessed on foot from the center, through several streets and the stairs of what is known as Paseo de la Playa, which remain closed at night. Halfway along the route is the Cemetery viewpoint, with magnificent views. There are two elevators to get to the beach: a municipal one that goes from Plaza del Panorama (Calle de las Mercedes) to Plaza de los Tajillos, open all year round, and the one at the Meliá hotel, which is normally open only in summer and closes at noon, both for a price of 50 cents each way. It can also be accessed from the famous Cuesta del Tajo, full of craft and souvenir shops, where you will find your souvenir of Torremolinos and which is accessed from San Miguel street, right at the intersection you can see the < strong>Torre de los Molinos or Torre Pimentel and from there observe the remains of some of the mills that are still preserved.
